Otega Oweh had a tougher decision to make than many realized

Oweh had a tough decision to make when the deadline came.

The BBN received great news when Otega Oweh decided to return to Lexington for his senior season.

It was a decision that many expected across the college basketball world, but it sounds like it may have been a closer decision than many of us previously thought.

According to Matt Norlander of CBS Sports, that is exactly what it was for the Kentucky Wildcats standout.

“Otega Oweh had an interesting process, because if we were talking a month ago, I would have told you he’s going to go through this process and wind up back in Lexington, and that’s what happened,” Norlander said.

“But, really, along the way, he wound up getting even more encouraging feedback, probably what he was hoping to get but not assured of, and it wound up being a pretty difficult decision overall.”

As we also thought, it sounds like his NIL package to return to Kentucky was a huge player in the decision.

“I’m told Oweh will be paid quite handsomely, as you might expect. He was Kentucky’s best player. That is one of the wealthier programs in college basketball. He has a huge NIL bag waiting for him.”

The decision was apparently a close one. Let’s just be glad it went in UK’s favor.
